Award Winners
USITT is proud to recognize 2017 winners of these USITT and publication awards.
DeGaetani Award Winner: Peter Sargent
“Design and theatre is not about egos or one-person's singular success. Peter instilled in me the notion that our art form is not about one designer, one actor, or one director. It is about the collaborative effort and our abilities to work together as artists to solve problems, rise to the occasion, and transport our audiences.” -Jeff Behm
Rising Star Award Winner: Bryce Cutler
“Bryce’s work always provides bold visual statements about the script at hand. He understands the value of research and takes the time to understand a text thoroughly in order to develop inventive designs. His analysis is exhaustive and the research inspires the exploration of a wide variety of ideas.” -Dick Block
Golden Pen Award Winner: John E. Bowlt
